1:10 max turn time | Keleres and Mentak banned | may choose one faction to ban | limited whispers | beginners welcome

true cypress
#

1:10 means what for turn time?

flint garden
#

1 hour 10 minutes

true cypress
#

What is DS?

#

And nucleus ?

flint garden
#

Discordant Stars, its a bunch of extra factions

#

Nucleus is one form of drafting.

true cypress
#

Ok.

#

Sftt?

flint garden
#

Support for the throne Promissory Note. Some games people swap them to artificially boost their points

true cypress
#

Got it

#

I’m new to async . And new to TI4. I’ve only played the base game about 7 times and POK about 3. I’m currently ib my first TE expansion game now. So still learning that. But it’s pretty much the same as everything else

Looking for another game because my current game is EU time and I’m in the USa.

flint garden
#

Your turn time is great, so come on in!

true cypress
#

What does the green and red times signify? Like what hours are what

#

I am looking for a day where we just sit and play like as if we were at the table together. lol and you seem like your down for that too one day

flint garden
#

so it starts at 7 pm, and green means those are the hours discord sees that you're active. so if they line up across all players, it shows the game has more likelihood of moving forwards some synchronously (for an async process). If everyone is in similar time zones they should more or less line up

true cypress
#

So the red squares are like 10 pm - 6 am?

#

Are you in the USa? If so, which time zone?

flint garden
#

I've done 1 game like that. That's more of a commitment than I'm looking for here. That sort of game would have to be posted specifically like that for a particular day. The one time I did that, we weren't able to get through the entire game.

#

I'm Eastern, though I'm an early to bed, early to rise so a bit off from some others.

true cypress
true cypress
#

I’ll join! Just please bare with me as I’m still learning async and the new TE POK expansion

flint garden
#

Generally speaking things slow way down on weekends and evenings and that's to be expected. People have lives to live. But its also nice if the game does continue to have some forward progress during those hours.

true cypress
#

Also, now, this new faction list!

#

Is the DS something people can buy? Irl?

flint garden
#

I think it's just available online.

late aspenBOT
#

SteveTV7 joined the game.

flint garden
#

And I dont know where, just that they have them programmed in here.

true cypress
#

Are they cool? How can I check them out before hand?

flint garden
#

might have to google that, im not sure. but some are them are pretty cool!

true cypress
#

And how do I keep this thread at the top of my list so I don’t miss notifications?

flint garden
#

do you get a notification if i ping you specifically? @true cypress

true cypress
#

Yes

flint garden
#

then the server will ping you when the game is ready to start

true cypress
#

Ok

#

Ok Great

flint garden
#

yeah its possible the game might not even fill up today it being a saturday, but hope so! Should fill up eventually.

Welcome

Our other game got stalled so I thought I'd start another

#

Yeah ok, c'mon in

#

Yeah picking strategy cards shouldn't take all day, especially when you already know which one you want. I realize Discord had issues yesterday.

#

I actually picked 1:10 since one of our slower peeps was 1:14 😂

dull light
#

Use the queues

#

Float transaction windows, use bot queues, don't stall the games for negotiations

#

We can always retroactively agree to apply transactions. Especially early

Goetys joined the game.

steel ginkgo
#

Hi everyone! Goetys is in the house!

flint garden
#

Hey man! You're a bit over my stated turn timer limit, but I'll let it slide...😉

#

Guess the limit is up to 1:20 now 😄

steel ginkgo
#

I played a game against Europeans. Night moves have eaten up my response time a bit. I should be ok.

#

I’m on the East Coast

flint garden
#

I typically post for 1:15 anyway

steel ginkgo
#

We can choose to ban a faction? May I dare to ban Mahact?

flint garden
#

yup. ban anyone you want.

#

why mahact? i've played against them, never played them.

steel ginkgo
#

They are mean. 🤣

#

Haha. I saw them win too many time

flint garden
#

yeah there are some other mean ones out there i've seen people ban.

#

some ban DWS because they win a lot. though i've enjoyed playing them.

steel ginkgo
#

DWS 🤔

flint garden
#

Deepwrought Scholarate. One of the newer ones. I think in TE.

steel ginkgo
#

Oh, true.

flint garden
#

I've seen Yssaril banned, i think cos they're mean. And Winnu, they can really dominate. Mentak is really annoying to play against with all the pillaging and Keleres just takes forever on async with the extra agenda phases.

steel ginkgo
#

Yssaril could win a lot , true. But it isn’t so bad since TE. well … as far as I witnessed.

flint garden
#

are they that faction that gets a million action cards and can outstall the entire table routinely at end game?

steel ginkgo
#

Yep

late aspenBOT
#

TechnoMaestro joined the game.

flint garden
#

Yeah so thats why people ban them

#

welcome @sterile loom ! I wasn't expecting this game to fill up so quickly on a saturday morning...

sterile loom
#

hello hello!

steel ginkgo
#

We’re all eager to make pew pew !

I've played some TIGL games but they're a little too intense for me.

flint garden
#

<@&947310962485108816>

flint garden
#

1 hr-ish technically falls under the "superfast" category, but 0:30 almost needs another "almost-live" category

dull light
#

So close 😭

true cypress
#

I’m good for this game. T

flint garden
#

anyone go ahead and ping me when it gets to 6. as long as they're within time constraints, we'll be good to go.

true cypress
#

What does TIGL mean?

#

And “NA” ?

flint garden
#

North America

#

Twilight Imperium Global League. It's a league where you can advance up ranks. Competitive and hardcore, especially once you're ranked.

true cypress
#

Thank you

steel ginkgo
#

It’s been a while since I played DS. It might take a moment to choose my faction

flint garden
#

No worries. I'm trying to find that sweet spot where people don't feel rushed but also are somewhat conscientious about taking their turns in a reasonable amount of time to keep the game moving forwards for everybody.

#

I'd ask that if people know theyre going to be unavailable for a big chunk of time like half a day or more to just let everyone on the channel know

dull light
#

I'm about to hit the road for a few hours so ill be delayed if we launch soon

steel ginkgo
#

No milty? I was wondering about the Nucleus draft. How does it work?

flint garden
#

@summer oracle @earnest sable

flint garden
summer oracle
#

I am both not NA and not interested in homebrew

flint garden
summer oracle
#

There's 4 things being drafted, seat and order are disconnected in r1

earnest sable
summer oracle
#

It makes the snake drafting of milty make a little more sense

flint garden
#

I have two "superfast" (one with you) that are just stuck, so I figured start a 3rd...

earnest sable
#

Good luck!🍀

flint garden
#

alright i'm going to take a break as well for a bit while we wait on a 6th

Oh, and you've got your 6th anyways

#

Thanks for thinking of me though ❤️ @flint garden

Nah you got it

#

Enjoy!

snow osprey
#

If it's to play, thanks for thinking of me! But looks like you've got a full complement, plus my turn timer is way too long and I'm in the wrong timezone.

steel ginkgo
#

@flint garden . We’re enough

#

I let you start the game

flint garden
#

I'll start it up in a bit, after my disc golf game. One of us is on the road anyway.

steel ginkgo
#

I’m curious about the Nucleus draft … 🤔

spice hearth
# steel ginkgo I’m curious about the *Nucleus* draft … 🤔

Differences from milty: milty slices are broken up into two draftable pieces (seat and slice). The slice is now just the three tiles adjacent to your home system. The seat is the tile adjacent to Mecatol and the two equidistants (each seat position shares both equidistants so people get a little less territorial about “my equidistant”). It makes sense when you see the draft laid out. You can draft speaker order, slice, seat, and faction. Seat position and speaker order will not line up first round so pay attention when drafting also when picking SCs for the first round. If your whole plan for the 1st round hinges on selling the speaker token make sure you’re not sitting next to the speaker even if you’re picking 4th or 5th. Otherwise after round one everything goes back to normal speaker/order pick order.

#

I personally like it better than milty. Once you see it laid out it makes sense.
